"Evidence that no children of Edmund Chandler survived is found in the lack of any guardianship or division of the property of Edmund Chandler by the probate court, and the fact that his widow remarried and sold off most of Chandler's property without needing any division or quitclaim from other heirs."[1]
According to the Chandler Family Association, The Mayflower Society recognizes the possibility of John being Edmund and Elizabeth’s child, although they believe that if he was their child he died young. If he did die young he would had to have died between 1721 when Joseph Chandler (his grandfather) made his Will and 1724 when it appears that Elizabeth began selling Edmund’s property.[2]
However, the “Alden Kindred”, which is devoted to John Alden and his descendants, does list John as the child of Edmund and Elizabeth on their website, but does not show him as having married or having descendants.[2]
Whether or not John was Edmund and Elizabeth's son, he was definitely the grandson of Joseph Chandler.[2]
